When you visited the Support website from ASUS recently you might have noticed two not yet officially announced graphics cards from Nvidia, of which there were previously only rumors. In the product selection, in addition to the well-known GeForce RTX 3080 and the RTX 3060 Ti models, “GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 20G” and “GeForce RTX 3060 12GB” could be found for a short time.
Screenshots confirm the selection of GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GByte. ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-O20G-GAMING and ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-20G-GAMING as well as ROG-STRIX-RTX3060-O12G-GAMING and ROG-STRIX-RTX3060-12G-GAMING were listed in detail. If you go by the usual ASUS naming convention, the models labeled "020G" or "O12G" are overclocked (O = overclocking).
In contrast to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which has been available since the beginning of this month, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit wide memory interface, a new GeForce RTX 3060 is to be fitted with 12 GB, with the RAM interface at 192 bits and the number of shader units are cut down. The reason is that the GeForce RTX 3060 should be based on the GA106 chip, while the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 use the larger GA104. The specifications of the GA106 graphics chip are still fairly unclear, but one can assume 3840 CUDA cores - significantly less than the 4864 CUDA cores of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB will likely be presented at the traditional CES in North America early next month and will be available towards the end of January. In addition, a GeForce RTX 3060 with 6 instead of 12 GB is to arrive as well, which also uses the GA106 chip, but should be further trimmed. Here one calculates with 3584 instead of 3840 CUDA cores. Actually, this 6 GB graphics card should have appeared as a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, but Nvidia has apparently decided otherwise. It is still unclear when the GeForce RTX 3060 with 6 GB will arrive.
